Afrodisiac Natural Hair & Wellness Spa

I had an awful experience here. First off, this is not a hair salon but a mom and daughter doing hair from their home. I paid $ 150 to have my hair flat twisted into an up do with extensions and it only lasted for 4 days. I noticed after the first day that my kinky twist in the top were coming undone and my flat twist were frizzy and coming a loose. It was a total waste of my money. I should have spent that money letting an African do my hair. At least it would have lasted longer. I will never return to them.

I have been going to Afrodisiac since I was 18 (6 years). The stylist (s) I go to always do an AMAZING job on my hair. I think the pricing is very fair and they educate clients on home hair care. I really appreciate Afrodisiac more since I moved away for grad school. As soon as I book flights home for breaks I make a hair appointment. I get alot of compliments on my hair and it really lasts. Depending on your service it can take longer to do. I get my hair interlocked and the owner does my hair faster then anyone I have ever seen.
Sometimes I get frustrated with a few of the complaints the others have mentioned but in comparisons to some of the other places I have been its bearable. It has gotten considerable better in the past two years so I would recommend giving them a try if you have not been in a while.
I always recommend Afrodisiac when people ask where i get my hair done.

Original Review: Unlike all the other reviewers, I had a great experience here. I have natural hair and came for two strand/​flat twists, based on a recommendation. The only reason I’m giving them four stars is because my stylist showed up an hour and a half late, but it was Marta’s fault, so I can’t be mad at her. My style was on point and it lasted a whole month without any interference from me. All I did was wear a satin cap every night. I’m going back for another style tomorrow! The price was fair and I was definitely satisfied. I got compliments the whole month my hair was styled. My stylist was Coretta.
2015 Update: They are closed now and probably should be. The last time I went, my stylist Coretta didn’t even make eye contact with me because she knew she had overbooked. She proceeded to style someone’s dreadlocks for two hours. I finally decided to leave. No one said a mumbling word to me the whole time I was there, nor when I left. When I get half way home, the salon comes calling me «Coretta is ready for you.» SERIOUSLY! I said, ummmm my appointment was almost three hours ago are you kidding me?! Two days later Coretta calls to apologize but in my opinion it was too late. A month later I got an email saying the shop was closing and that they had decided to part ways. Probably for the best!

After searching for a natural hair salon for a consultation, Aphrodisiac became an option on my contact list. I called on Tuesday and a cinsultation appointment was made for the next day. I spoke to the owner, Fatima, on the phone and she was very sweet. The next day I met with Fatima and Caretta, the woman who would be my stylist. The interior of this place is pleasant and serene and there is low music playing throughout the salon. There are beautiful colors painted along the walls and a lounge area. Although I am starting off with length slightly longer than a big chop, Caretta brought my hair to life with an awesome updo. There were an array of natural styles for me to choose from which is very important because I want the option of variety. The price for my hair treatment and styling was affordable and reasonable and they know how to properly care for natural hair using natural products only. I bought my products (a line titled Shea Moisture) in during my visit and they were used on my hair as well. During my styling I was given instruction on how to manage my style in between visits. The atmosphere is very mellow and very welcoming. I will definitely be back.

Just too disorganized. After going here more than 12 times in a few years, I just never know what I’m going to get. The facility is beautiful but that’s it. The staff, including the owner, are so unprofessional. No one seems to remember their own prices and they are always out of shampoo, so they use crap like Patene Pro V! Anyway, I’m still searching for an affordable natural hair salon…

Great loft, unskilled stylists. These ppl cannot do locks. Everyones hair looked a mess so I should’ve taken that as a warning signal. She was using a comb to part my hair-​what??? Tugging and sighing like this was her first head of hair ever. I’m lucky she didnt rip my hair out. My hair has been well maintained by a professional for a long while. The lady could not palm roll at all. I had to show her how to palm twist it to make the edges look smooth… huh??! Left my hair frizzy and looking a mess then put me under the dryer with my hair looking worse than it did when I walked in.
Over priced. Trying to charge 90 for a maintenance and style, while my regular loctician is in a national hair magazine & has won hair competitions and only charges 60 for a maintenance and stlye & will have you looking like you just walked out of a photshoot. They need to close down until they get better hair stylists. I paid them part of their money for the time spent and went on my way. Now I’m left to retwist my hair myself tonight, (because I can honestly do a way better job)-something I haven’t had to do in almost a year and a half. Lesson learned.
If you go here, you will be disappointed and upset.

What hair salon calls you 15 minutes prior to your initial appointment starts to ask you to reschedule for two hours later. Now all this would have been fine if they called me at least an hour prior to my appt. As well as if I wasn’t on public transportation. But I’m walking up to the building as she is calling me to let me know no one is there. WTF! And then the manager… she seem like one of those «I know everything and you know nothing» types of people. Very overpowering when talking to her. Barely let’s you get a word at edgewise. Will I go back here, never. Will I suggest you go here, only if it’s a last resort. You might want to go to Big Mama them crib before choosing Afrodisiac. Highly unprofessional.
Secondly I was suppose to get my hair colored when they only wanted to do a consultation. They «couldn’t» do the color the same day because they don’t carry it in the salon. YOU’RE A FREAKING HAIR SALON! How is it that you don’t carry hair coloring materials. Even if you are a natural hair salon. I’m sure they have natural hair coloring products. Get it together!!!
